Figure 4.
Evaluation of membrane damage induced by BMAP-27 in K. pneumoniae Ts101 and Ts113 strains. The percentage of damaged cells (% PI-positive cells) of KpTs101 and KpTs113 strains after 30 min incubation is reported as a function of BMAP-27 concentration. Bacterial cells (1 × 106 CFU/mL) were incubated for 30 min with peptide; propidium iodide (PI) was added to each sample to final concentration of 10 µg/mL and analyzed by flow cytometry. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD for three independent experiments.
